Question

  • How to set up a cost alert on a SIM?

  • Can I get notified on costs associated with usage on an individual SIM?

Answer

  1. Find the SIM in the Onomondo app.

  2. Click on "Edit" in the left-side panel.

  3. Scroll down to "Cost alert" section.

  4. Choose "Cost period":

    1. Per month

    2. Per day

  5. Specify the threshold (in EUR).

  6. Click "Save changes".
    ​

  7. Go to Webhooks.

  8. Create a new webhook or edit an existing one.

  9. Specify the URL endpoint.

  10. Select Tags* to be paired with this Webhook under "Limit to".

  11. Select "Cost alert" event type.

  12. Activate the webhook using the "Active" toggle.

  13. Click on "Create webhook" / "Save changes" in the top right corner.
    ​

* Make sure the Webhook is paired with the same Tags as the SIM you set the alert on.

The Onomondo Webhook Service checks cost alerts once per hour. This means that alerts are delivered to you within the same hour as the threshold was reached, but not in real time.

Cause

When the cost alert threshold has been reached - you will see the event record in the Network Logs. However, you will need to set up a webhook to get notified about this event outside of the Onomondo app.
